Moses Creek Conservation Area

The Moses Creek Conservation Area preserves one of the few remaining undeveloped tidal creeks — Moses Creek, a tributary to the Matanzas River — in the north Florida region. The tidal marshes here served as an important resource to Native Americans who occupied the area thousands of years ago.

The District purchased this land, which surrounds Moses Creek, to protect important water resources and ecological functions, as well as to protect wildlife habitat. Eight natural communities — scrub, sandhill, upland mixed forest, freshwater tidal swamp, mesic flatwood, depression marsh, dome swamp and estuarine tidal marsh — can be found on the land. The diverse vegetative communities provide habitat for a variety of wildlife.

Amenities Include: Hiking Trails, wildlife Viewing, Primitive Camping, Picnicking, Nature Study, Bicycling, Horseback Riding and Fishing.
